Artistic Bride Portraits from Koh Samui

Date of publication: 31 Dec 2018 | Updated: 31 May 2024

For a day as significant as your wedding, it is natural to want to replay the moments repeatedly. A professional wedding photographer is key to capturing and preserving these beautiful moments. When a father entrusts his precious daughter to a stranger, knowing that he will be the new pillar of her life; when an ailing grandmother watches her grandson marry the girl of his dreams and is brought back to memories of wedding day; when two people come together and embrace their imperfections and past mistakes, and make a commitment to go through life together; everything comes together as a mix of bitter and sweet. And I aim to capture these nuances that make every wedding different – and beautiful.

Are you planning to get bride photos in Samui, Thailand, or elsewhere in Southeastern Asia? I would be thrilled to be your wedding photographer and kindly invite you to view my latest work in bride photography and weddings in general.

I prefer a contemporary style of shooting with less staging. However, communication with models is still important, and I am proud of my ability to create a proper mood and help anyone to 'open" in front of the camera, despite possible fatigue and anxiety, which are not rare at weddings.

Key considerations

Several important factors contribute to capturing beautiful and memorable images when taking bride photos. Here are some key considerations.
  • Communication: Effective communication between the bride and the photographer is vital. Discuss the desired style, mood, and specific shots in advance. Understand the bride's preferences and any unique aspects she wants to incorporate – that is one of the important things about a good quality wedding bride photo.
  • Lighting: Wedding photographers have to pay attention to lighting as it greatly affects the overall look and feel of the photos. Mostly, I prefer to use natural light whenever possible, but I'm prepared for any situation if needed.
  • Poses and Expressions: I guide the bride in posing, using my skills to help her look natural and comfortable. Through gentle instructions, I ensure flattering angles and poses are achieved. I strive to capture a variety of poses, from traditional to candid, showcasing the bride's unique personality and elegance. I encourage the bride to relax and express genuine emotions during the wedding photography session, resulting in authentic and vibrant photographs.
  • Attention to Details: When I photograph a bride, I meticulously pay attention to every detail of her attire, accessories, and hairstyle. I capture close-ups of the wedding gown, jewelry, bouquet, and other elements contributing to her stunning appearance.
